Ter-Stegen has made a decision about his future

German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen has given a clear answer to the summer rumors about leaving Barcelona. He has made his decision: for now, he will stay with the team and compete for the position of first-choice goalkeeper. This was reported by Spanish media.

According to sources, ter Stegen did not consider offers from other clubs during the summer transfer window. He has accepted the internal competition and intends to prove his potential on the pitch once again. However, if the coaches fail to show enough trust in him during the new season, the 33-year-old goalkeeper may consider leaving in the winter, local journalists write.

It is worth noting that ter Stegen missed nearly all of last season due to injury. With the help of doctors and club specialists, he underwent an active rehabilitation process. As a result, he only managed to participate in 9 matches throughout the season.

He has been playing for Barcelona since 2014 and has achieved many successes during this time. The trust in him still exists — he just needs to recover and return to his best physical form.

Ter Stegen’s current contract runs until 2028. This gives the club the opportunity to implement long-term plans with him. Fans believe the experienced goalkeeper can shine again at a high level.

Ter Stegen’s decision to stay might be a big advantage for Barcelona as well, since he is seen as not only a professional but also a team leader.

The period until winter will be a test for him. If he regains his place in the starting lineup, then his journey with the Catalan club may continue. If not — a transfer to a new destination is possible. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
